Wonder how many autographs were sold to pay for them. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Bill Wentz lives next to my parents in Worthington. I think Bill still holds the longest kickoff record of 100 yards for the school record.  Bill had a stroke several years ago and is fighting some other significant health issues. Ben Jones who was a kicker is a friend of mine here in Richmond. Ben told me he was headed to Columbus to take part in the ceremonies to honor the team.

I think it was determined that the padding created more risk.  I guess it was because helmet to helmet contact had the helmets sticking and thudding more than maybe glancing off each other.  Elmer Lippert was the last O$U player to wear the helmet 71-73.  Several of the Kansas City Chiefs including Richmond native Willie Lanier wore the helmet as well. According to the Helmet Project, Ohio wore a version of this helmet from 64-65, probably with the Bill Hess - Hayes connection.

Russell Wilson -- maybe the only player in college football whose name promotes two equipment manufacturers. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.
